129, Chongzhen's reaction
The nearby Yizhou Mansion, Wuding Mansion, etc., are all frightened, unable to sleep at night, fortunately, this golden wolf demon, occupied Qingzhou Mansion, so he stopped, I don't know what idea he is playing, according to his strength, there is no problem to take the Beijing division directly.
After all, the strength of the Ming Dynasty is mainly in Liaodong, and it is not easy to dispatch 100,000 troops nearby, but it is very childish to be defeated by the demon soldiers of the golden wolf demon.
Zhang Wencheng and others also didn't understand, but Ye Feiyu said that they only occupied Qingzhou Mansion, and they had no choice but to take back the soldiers and horses, send people to all parts of Qingzhou Mansion, accept household registration and field information, etc., and started a new round of land reform movement.
The mineral resources of Qingzhou Mansion are much richer than Ye Feiyu expected, iron ore and coal mines, etc., have increased Ye Feiyu's income by a lot, after all, although the value of these things is small, it is better than the huge quantity.
In addition, the two gold mines also made Ye Feiyu a little surprised.
There are relatively few shallow gold mines in the Ming Dynasty, not many can be mined, gold, silver, copper, etc., many of them are transported from Europe and Japan, and there are two gold mines in Qingzhou Mansion here, and there are thousands of catties of gold stored in the family cellar of the prime minister's concubine.
Even the gold mines were occupied by the gentry family, which shows that at this time, the Ming Dynasty was only left with empty shelves, and the country's wealth and blood were all sucked up by the gentry and merchant class.
Even the thirty tax is a commercial tax that can not be called a tax, and the merchants are unwilling to pay, and the Ming must grab wealth from the poorest peasant class to maintain the operation of the country. It's Da Ming himself.
The looting of wealth in the colonial plane is not the same as plundering wealth. Rather, let the colonized create wealth, therefore. Ye Feiyu left half of the family wealth to those gentry, but did not confiscate all of them and turned them into his own source crystals.
In the Hall of Cultivating the Heart, Chongzhen looked at the concerto, his fists were clenched tightly, his breathing became extremely rapid, his face was pale because of the lack of exercise and lack of sunlight, and then he roared like an angry beast: "Waste! Rubbish! It's all rubbish! ”
With a snap, the piece handed over by Zhu Dadian was thrown by him on Zhu Dadian, who was kneeling on the ground.
"Haha! Hahaha! I have high hopes for you. After all the hard work and hard work to raise a million taels of military salaries for you, you will repay me with such a record? ”
Chongzhen laughed angrily, but his eyes showed a fierce gaze that chose people to devour, staring at Zhu Dadian who was on the ground.
Emperor Chongzhen is by no means a good man and a woman, and the Ming Dynasty does not have a saying that he does not kill scholars, and from the historical records, you can see part of Chongzhen's heart.
In August of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Chongzhen was the emperor. In November, Jiazi placed Wei Zhongxian in Fengyang. In November, Wei Zhongxian hanged himself. In December, Wei Liangqing and Hou Guoxing, the son of the Hakka family, were punished.
In the first month of the first year of Chongzhen, he killed Wei Zhongxian and his party Cui Chengxiu. June. Cut Wei Zhongxian's Feng Quan and Wei Guangwei's books. In the first month of the second year of Chongzhen, Ding Chou, the case of rebellion, since Cui Chengxiu and then the sixth class.
Even Wei Zhongxian's body had to be dug up and whipped. It can be seen that he is not a soft-hearted emperor, and Zhu Dadian knows that returning to Beijing will also be a death. Stay on the spot and be killed by the golden wolf demon. Maybe he can still get a reputation for being loyal and brave, but his personal soldiers forcibly took him away, and after Zhu Dadian came back, he didn't have the courage to commit suicide, so he had to play and plead guilty.
He didn't dare to raise his head, he slammed on the ground, and his head was broken and a pool of blood flowed: "The minister has failed His Majesty's expectations, and the sin deserves death. ”
"It's not enough for you to die 10,000 times!" Chongzhen said viciously.
The two prefectures of Denglai and the Qingzhou Mansion, such a large area of territory, it is said that if it is occupied, it will be occupied, and Chongzhen is false when he says that he is not angry.
The training expenses of the 3,000 cavalry, as well as the salaries of the 100,000 army, it is no exaggeration to say, are all pulled out from his fingers little by little, in order not to waste money and silver, he does not even dare to light more candles in the palace, many palaces are dark and crazy at night, and the food is very ordinary, not even as good as ordinary officials.
It was not easy to get enough military salaries, and sent a large army, but in one face, the army was scattered and retreated, and three thousand cavalry were killed and wounded, at this time, Chongzhen even wanted to swallow this Zhu Dadian alive!
"You say! What the hell is going on! How could my 100,000-strong counterinsurgency army be defeated so easily? ”
Chongzhen took two deep breaths and tried to calm himself down, even if he was defeated, he had to know the reason for the defeat, and he had to do a good job of countermeasures in the future.
The reason for the defeat is written, but Emperor Chongzhen does not believe these nonsense.
Zhu Dadian didn't know how to explain, so he had to say honestly: "Back to Your Majesty, what the minister said is true, that golden wolf demon has dozens of huge things, and the artillery cannot be destroyed, and there are incomparably sharp things on it, as far as hundreds of zhang, which can kill hundreds of people in an instant, and the three thousand cavalry will be killed and injured in a few breaths, and they will not be killed within a hundred zhang of the other party!" ”
Chongzhen said coldly: "Zhu Dadian, do you think that if you make up such false rumors, I won't kill you?" ”
Zhu Dadian fell to the ground: "The minister doesn't dare." The minister knew that he was guilty of a lot of sins, and he didn't dare to take chances, but the minister really didn't deceive His Majesty, and the 100,000 soldiers all witnessed it with their own eyes. ”
"According to what you say, this golden wolf demon directly kills the Jingshi, and no one can stop him? Then why did he only occupy Qingzhou Mansion and not move? ”
Chongzhen's voice trembled, not knowing if it was because of anger or fear.
Zhu Dadian had no choice but to reply: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know!" ”
Emperor Chongzhen was silent, and only after a while did he say to Wang Chengen, who was standing beside him with his hands down: "You go and bring Zhou Yanru, Wen Tiren and other cabinet ministers here, I am waiting for them here!" ”
The 100,000 counterinsurgency army was all defeated in one day, this is still a more tactful statement, in fact, the 100,000 army, even without engaging with the other party's short army, were all defeated and retreated, Zhou Yanru and others naturally have understood the situation.
From Qingzhou to Jingshi, it is easier than Jiannu to Jingshi, and the journey is closer, and it is possible for the other party to kill the Jingshi city within three days, Zhou Yanru These ministers, knowing that Zhu Dadian is facing the saint, also know that Chongzhen will definitely summon them, and they are all waiting outside the palace now.
Therefore, after receiving Wang Chengen's communication, Zhou Yanru and others quickly followed Wang Chengen to the Palace of Heart Cultivation.
However, Chongzhen and the ministers, in the face of absolute force, naturally could not discuss any countermeasures, and force could not deal with the golden wolf demon, so they could only use the means of recruiting An.
Zhu Dadian did not ask for beheading immediately, but just took him into custody, although Emperor Chongzhen was angry, but the reports of many spies were like this, not to mention Zhu Dadian, even if he Chongzhen was personally recruited, it was impossible to change anything.
After losing the battle, Zhao'an is naturally different from the last recruitment, no matter the posture and the bottom line have been lowered a lot, how to do it, how much to concede, you have to calculate slowly.
Ye Feiyu ignored the attitude of the imperial court, and asked Ma Dingyuan and other good students to run the Sanzhou Mansion and make every effort to exploit the mineral deposits, and then returned to Guinea to prepare to receive his steamer.
With these ships, he was able to transport soldiers and horses, monopolize maritime trade, and even send troops to conquer the European continent, and his power in Europe was in full bloom, dumping cheap goods in exchange for large quantities of gold and silver supplies, etc. On the Yamato side, there is a wealth of gold and silver, and it must not be let go.
Doing business, the speed of earning wealth is actually not slow, for example, the Linhai port, the income is similar to that of Denglai and the two prefectures, when Ye Feiyu left Qingzhou Mansion, he also left a lot of useful things, such as white paper, toilet paper, toothpaste, toothbrush, salt and sugar.
While these things may seem inconspicuous, the potential spending power is enormous. Accustomed to these things, and then let those dignitaries who think they are noble, scrape their buttocks with bamboo chips, brush their teeth with a pig hair brush, and open their mouths to reveal a pig hair, full of fishy smell, are you embarrassed to talk to others?
The most important thing is that this is an exclusive monopoly commodity, Ye Feiyu provides a complete set of daily necessities for welfare to county officials, etc., so that they can advertise their own goods, and advertise in the gentry class, and the money will naturally come quickly.
Of course, these things are expensive, and ordinary people can't afford them, at least when Ye Feiyu earns enough money from the gentry and merchants of the Ming Dynasty, he will increase the sales of these goods and make ordinary people afford to consume.
Ye Feiyu's main focus now is still on the earth, and it is equally important to make money to buy energy armors and cultivate guardians.
The warship he ordered has passed the acceptance, and as long as he sends the money over, he can let the other party sail to the Guinean side, and the problem is that Ye Feiyu has no manpower.
Even if the electronic control system is simplified, so that those natives of the No. 1 Colonial Plane who even learn to drive for a few days want to learn to drive a ship, I don't know how long it will take, and they still need guardians to control it.
Therefore, Ye Feiyu could only recruit sailors in the name of Sky Wolf Logistics and drive the ship to Igu Island.
If it is appropriate, Ye Feiyu is ready to sign a long-term labor contract with these sailors first, three or five years, and directly send them to the No. 1 Colonial Plane, when the contract period is up, Ye Feiyu's power will develop, and it is okay to send them back to Earth.
Of course, if the secret is not revealed at that time, it is difficult to say whether these people can return to Earth.
The construction of Igu Island is in full swing, changing day by day, and it has only been more than 40 days since the start of construction, and the buildings on the island have taken shape, leaving only the reclamation project, as well as the construction of the seaside city wall and wharf.
Radilo made a lot of money in the Igu Island project, Ye Feiyu bought a lot of guns from him, and his strength became stronger and stronger, but the transformation of warships, the installation of weapon systems and automatic navigation systems, etc., are all high-tech things, he can't get it, but he has this connection, not long after Ye Feiyu made his request, an American arms dealer went to Igu Island in person to meet Ye Feiyu.
The current arms business is not easy to do, and even American arms dealers will not be idle in this business worth hundreds of millions of dollars. (To be continued......)
